Skynet has issued the following announcement about launching a crowd funding campaign after being in a van crash:

"Yesterday was one of the most tragic days in the history of Skynet. We are so thankful to be alive and walking away from the demolition we used to call our van/home.

"We can't thank everybody enough for the amount of support we've been receiving from every outlet. We will be playing Sudbury on the 4th still and are trying our hardest to finish the rest of this tour.

"We have set up an Indiegogo and posted a short video explaining everything that happened/happening because of the crash. To anybody who might be able to help us: anything helps. Thank you all so much thus far again.

"If anybody could please share this or tell a friend, Anything. It will help the Skynet machine stay alive. Because we are not prepared to stop anytime soon. We love you all so much." More...

Skynet has released a new music video for "To The Hounds," which is taken from upcoming EP "The Wild," set to be released on November 19th, 2013 via Underground Operations and Transcend Music. Watch the clip, directed by Steve Putt, in the player available below.

"Skynet, the next big metal act to come out of Hamilton. With the hype off their debut video 'Deception,' the boys from Skynet went to Plain City, Ohio to record their debut 6 song EP with Dan Smoldt at URC Studios, and guitarist Adrian Levasseur as producer. They entered the studio drunk, and without distraction, to deliver the most raw and brutal album possible. Straight Reads the Line alumni Blake Prince and Adrian Levasseur’s songwriting shine over this album. Talented is something that more than describes Pete Chernets and Fraser Stephenson, their technical skill will astound and atrophy. Skynet’s debut EP will make you listen again and harder. They are ready to wreck your city on the Blind Witness' farewell tour and continue to rule the road this summer/fall."
